And to be happier is the present that matters much more.
想变得更快乐,当下更重要
Quote from my book: "Happiness is not about making it to the peak of the mountain, nor is it about climbing aimlessly around the mountain; happiness is the experience of climbing toward the peak. "
引用我书中的话:“幸福并不是登上山峰,也不是在山的四周没有方向地乱爬,幸福是向山峰攀登的过程”
It is about having a goal. It is about having a destination in mind, and then letting go and enjoying the process.
它与设定目标有关,与设定一个终点有关,然后就释放自己,享受过程
You know there are many people who talk to me about it, and again I went through the exact same experience.
有很多人和我谈过这问题,每次我都会经历同样的情况
So OK "what is going to be the next job that I take?" "What is going to be the path that I take?" And once they take a path, it is very often they regret, "I should've taken the other path. " Should've taken this job. Should've gone there.
“接下来我要做什么工作呢?”“我该走哪一条路呢?”当他们选了一条路,通常都会后悔“我应该走另一条路”应该接这一份工作,不该去那里
And my response to it is it doesn't matter. It doesn't, in the ultimate currency, it doesn't matter. Because, yeah, let's say I am at a job that I should have taken and I would be very successful there. Fine. I would enjoy a high when I became very successful. But that in and of itself would not make me happy.
我的回答通常是,这并不重要。对终极财富来说,并不重要。因为如果我接了一份应该做的工作,我会非常成功,当我非常成功,我会很开心,但那件事并不会让我开心
The key is to have the goal. The key is to have the commitment to whatever it is that I'm doing. Now that commitment may change every three days and that's OK. It's the having the goals, having that commitment that Nmatters.
关键是设定目标,关键是自身的投入,对正在做的事的投入,就算那种投入每三天变一次也没关系,设定目标,全心投入才是最重要的
